So @glyph@mastodon.social asked me what it's like using Asahi on a M2 air daily, so I did a little writup: https://alextheward.com/blog/asahi_on_macbook_air_m2/ The tl;dr is "fine".

@cthos@mastodon.cthos.dev thanks, I appreciate the information! I really hope that they fix some of these glaring omissions. I would really need sleep & external displays to work to give this a try, it's a pity that aarch64 has broken all the assumptions that make "just install linux and give it a try" work on so much hardware

@cthos@mastodon.cthos.dev @glyph@mastodon.social I really like it and it got me using a computer (M1) again. That said, I had to open terminal today after it failed to update from 43 to 44, tried bluetooth once and it didn’t work, and often have to reboot because the speakers start cutting in and out. Not for mainstream use but if you can google your way out of a mess it’s fun.

@cthos@mastodon.cthos.dev @glyph@mastodon.social For a second I wondered why someone would pour Japanese beer on their Macbook.
